Gigabit Ethernet Recorder

The XSR Gigabit Ethernet Recorder from Galleon Embedded Computing is a rugged, small-form-factor network recorder designed to capture high-speed data across up to 13 independent Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Each interface can be recorded at full line speed, capturing UDP or TCP payloads in real time. Built to meet the harsh demands of UAVs, UGVs, UUVs, pods, and vehicle-based systems, the XSR offers up to 80TB of removable SSD storage, military-certified ruggedisation, and optional FIPS 140-2 and CSfC-compliant encryption. Featuring GPS-based timestamping and Intel Xeon processing, the XSR delivers scalable performance and long-term reliability for mission-critical applications.

Rugged Network Recorder – Up to 13 GbE Channels

The XSR Gigabit Ethernet Recorder is engineered for high-performance Ethernet data capture in size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) constrained environments. With up to 13 Intel® Gigabit Ethernet ports, each supporting full-rate UDP/TCP recording, the XSR is ideal for high-speed sensor logging, HD video recording, and surveillance. Its modular COTS architecture enables rapid upgrades, while its conduction-cooled, MIL-STD-tested housing ensures robust performance in extreme conditions.

Metromatics proudly provides local technical support, consultation, and integration services for Galleon products across Australia.
